The answer

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not specify particular criteria for a woman's beauty for marriage. Rather, he mentioned comprehensive qualities in his saying: "The best treasure a man can hoard is a righteous wife: when he looks at her, she pleases him; when he commands her, she obeys him; and when he is absent from her, she guards his honor and property." "She pleases him" means the beauty of her appearance, the assessment of which varies among people. This includes both outer and inner beauty, as he mentioned the importance of her obedience in what is right, and her safeguarding his honor, property, and children in his absence. Whoever finds such a woman has indeed attained the best possession of this world, as stated in the : "The world is a provision, and the best of its provision is a righteous woman."
